I’ve been thinking about switching careers. Currently, I’m not in food service, but I’d like to be. I’m not talking about McDonald’s or anything like that, I mean working in a kitchen, possibly as a chef’s assistant or something.
What I’m wondering is: Do I have to get a sanitation certification before I apply for jobs like this? Do I have to even have one individually, or does it apply to the whole restaurant?
I’ve found information out about how I can get certified, but I don’t want to look like a dummy and just show up with one. I haven’t been to culinary school or anything, since I know they certify you there before you leave.
Any answers would be helpful and thanks in advance.
